Pedestrian trajectory prediction aims to use observed human historical trajectories and surrounding environmental information to predict the future position of the target pedestrian, which has important application value in reducing collision risks for autonomous vehicles in social interactions.However, traditional model-driven pedestrian trajectory prediction methods are difficult to predict pedestrian trajectories in complex and highly dynamic scenes.In contrast, datadriven pedestrian trajectory prediction methods rely on large-scale datasets and can better capture and model more complex pedestrian interaction relationships, thereby achieving more accurate pedestrian trajectory prediction results, and have become a research hotspot in fields such as autonomous driving, robot navigation and video surveillance.In order to macroscopically grasp the research status and key issues of pedestrian trajectory prediction methods, We started with the classification of pedestrian trajectory prediction technology and methods.First, the research progress of existing pedestrian trajectory prediction methods were elaborated and the current key issues and challenges were summarized.Second, according to the modeling differences of pedestrian trajectory prediction models, existing methods were divided into model-driven and data-driven pedestrian trajectory prediction methods, and the advantages, disadvantages and applicable scenarios of different methods were summarized.Then, the mainstream datasets used in pedestrian trajectory prediction tasks were summarized and the performance indicators of different algoriths were compared.Finally, the future development direction of pedestrian trajectory prediction was prospected.
